The end_date is the end of the period you wish to calculate as a fraction of a year. The [basis] lets us define the âyearâ in a few different ways. 1 will give us the actual year. The DATE function takes a numerical year, a numerical month between 1-12, and a day between 1-31.
A. There are general guidelines for each literary category: Short stories range anywhere from 1,500 to 30,000 words; Novellas run from 30,000 to 50,000; Novels range from 55,000 to 300,000 words, but I wouldnât recommend aiming for the high end, as books the length of War & Peace arenât exactly the easiest to sell.
Although a short story could be as long as 30,000 words, stories of that length begin to become too bulky for their genre. These days, editors of literary magazines are readily publishing short stories of approximately 3,500 words, and they are shying away from longer works.
